On May 15, 1993, Christopher Yuan informed his parents that he was gay. Then he left them to travel in a “far country” for five years, pursuing a gay lifestyle and dealing drugs until he was arrested and sentenced to a six-year term in prison.
Out of a Far Country is the story of a family’s struggle to come to terms with a son’s self-destruction and a mother’s search for hope. Even more, it is a story about God’s tireless pursuit of two prodigals—mother and son—and the Father’s love that redeemed them both.
